A team of astronomers using the Green Bank Telescope has detected a faint but tantalizing signal from the center of the Milky Way: a possible millisecond pulsar spinning once every 8.19 milliseconds, ...

Researchers from Columbia University and Breakthrough Listen, a scientific research program aimed at finding evidence of ...

During the survey, researchers identified a promising 8.19-millisecond pulsar (MSP) candidate located close to Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy.

Astronomers have identified a potential ultra-fast pulsar spinning every 8.19 milliseconds close to Sagittarius A*, the ...

Scientists scanning the heart of the Milky Way have spotted a tantalizing signal: a possible ultra-fast pulsar spinning every 8.19 milliseconds near Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at our ...

Now, according to a new study published in The Astrophysical Journal, there could be a pulsar at the center of our Milky Way—and it could open a new chapter in physics. Researchers from Columbia ...

Millisecond pulsars are old neutron stars, which rotate several hundred times per second. They are often found in binary systems and their existence can be explained by mass transfer from a companion ...

When the nuclear fuel in the core of a massive star is spent, the star collapses and releases so much energy in the process that it briefly radiates a billion times brighter than before. Such a ...
